An old man was sitting at his table one day Writing a letter to pass time awayHis little granddaughter climbed up on his kneeSaying won't you please write a letter for meOh, what must I say in this letter I pray Tell mommy I miss her since she went awayI'm coming to see her real soon I hopeHe chocked back a big lump that rouse in his throat

He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope To god up in heaven you'll get it I hopeHe stamped it and handed it to her to mailHer big eyes were shining, her little face paleShe was crossing the street to the box o'er the wayAnd when she stepped out Never looked either wayA big object hit her and sped away fastThe little girls prayers had been answered at lastThe postman was passing And picked up the noteAddressed to the masterAnd these words he spokeStrait up into heave this letter did goShe's happy up there with her mommy I know
